Three job offers at Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie, Paris, France (1phD and 2 postdocs)

In the context of the MoSpeeDi project, funded by the FNS and run in collaboration with the University of Geneva, the HUG and IDIAP,  the Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie* (LPP ? CNRS/Sorbonne Nouvelle) in Paris is offering 3 positions (1 phD and 2 postdocs) starting November 2017 or later.

The general goal of the project is to better understand the processes and representations at play during speech production, focusing on the latest stages of the process where an encoded linguistic message is transformed into articulated speech. At the interface between linguistic and motor processes, these stages are also associated with different breakdowns considered as Speech Motor Disorders (dysarthria and apraxia of speech).

Articulatory, acoustic and speech behaviour data will be experimentally collected and analysed for both healthy speakers and speakers with speech motor disorders in order to (a) improve the characterization of phonetic speech planning and motor speech programming, (b) to identify phonetic and speech behavior markers of these processes, and (c) to better isolate and classify speech alterations in speech motor disorders. 

Within this Swiss-French collaborative project, the LPP is recruiting 1 doctoral student and 2 post-docs to join the team under the supervision of Cécile Fougeron (DR CNRS) and in close collaboration with Simone Falk (MC Sorbonne Nouvelle), and Leonardo Lancia (CR CNRS).
